WH40k - Megabattle 2016

On the third of january I was invited to my friend Mikaelfor a game of WH40k. The setup was huge in any way andwe were 6 players and the points were set to 3000 pointseach. I only reached 1200 points with my light armed Cadianforces and I pimped my troops heavily. :)The defender was me, Olle and Mikael and we playeda coalition of orcs and my light company of Cadians(traitorsof the emperor in this game).The attacker was Marcus, Karl and Peter and they chosea imperial force with bikes, heavy tanks and walkers.Once we had placed all the models and the figures on thebig table it was a impressing sight indeed!To make the game even more impressive both sides hadaccess to airsupport (both heavy and light).The objectives were simple and it was to hold or take theorkish positions and the battles raged back and forth.The most intense fighting was in the center to take theorkish-stronghold. To prevent the imperial-attacker fromtake their objectives Mikael had three big "orc-stompas"armed to the teeths and also filled with troops inside.The attacker also dropped terminators behind the defendersfront and tried to overrun the orcish HQ for an easy victorybut eventhough the defenders were not so strong in support-vehicles they held them at bay.Eventhough it was a fun game to play it took a lot of timeto move all the forces and after 5 hours of active playingmy allergy told me to go home and I withdraw.To summarize the imperial force would have won the battlebut with how high casualities no one knows.I want to thank Mikael again for the great hospitality and itwas really fun to witness this game and all the impressivemodels. I can´t think of a better start in 2016 for myhobby. :)
